Qupzilla Browser 2.1.2 for Stretch-based distros

I know they have a 64-bit AppImage, but I tried a native build from the new Debian Experimental sources in the OBS, they succeeded, and seem to run just fine.

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show … a/qupzilla

Instructions: https://software.opensuse.org//download … e=qupzilla

Or simplified:

sudo echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stevenpusser:/qupzilla/Debian_9.0/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qupzilla.list 

wget -nv http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:stevenpusser:qupzilla/Debian_9.0/Release.key -O Release.key

sudo apt-key add - < Release.key

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install qupzilla

Note that if you already have a Release.key file in the directory where you are downloading another one, you'll instead get the file with a number tacked on the end, so you will have to use that file name when adding the key.

Thanks Steve!

sudo echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stevenpusser:/qupzilla/Debian_9.0/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qupzilla.list

That redirection stops sudo working so you need to wrap the whole command up in a shell and apply sudo to that instead:

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stevenpusser:/qupzilla/Debian_9.0/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qupzilla.list"

Or use the `tee` command and a heredoc:

sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qupzilla.list <<!
deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stevenpusser:/qupzilla/Debian_9.0/ /
!

Real Debian users don't have sudo, right?  8o

EDIT: also, the (draft) stretch release notes feature the same warning as jessie in respect of webkit-based browsers such as qupzilla:

These browsers should not be used against untrusted websites.

https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch … r-security

Does the AppImage include the webkit libraries? If so then that may be the better option for Debian.

Inquiring minds want to know what untrusted sites said user HoaS visits.   ]:D

Meh...v2.0.2 is in the Unstable repos.
